Annual Investment Adviser's Report

December 31, 2006 (unaudited)

January 29, 2007

Dear Shareholder:

Performance Summary

1/1/06 – 12/31/06

Fund and Benchmarks   Performance  
Total Return (based on NAV)1     12.73 %  
Total Return (based on market value)1     31.44 %  
Citigroup High-Yield Market Index2     11.84 %  
Merrill Lynch US High Yield Master II Constrained Index3     10.77 %  

 

Market Review: A Record Year for Supply and Demand

The high yield market began and ended the 12-month period ended December 31, 2006, with positive returns. For the year, lower-rated securities continued to outperform the broader market, with CCC rated securities returning 16.97%. Interest rate sensitive BB securities underperformed with returns of 7.82%. High yield spreads continued to tighten against the 10-year Treasury, narrowing 60 basis points to end the period at 303 basis points. Automotive, airline, cable, theaters and fixed telecommunications led the rally while energy, homebuilding, gaming and health services trailed.

Credit fundamentals remained sound as 2006 came to a close. Default rates, as reported by Moody's Investor Services, continued to hover near 10-year lows, ending the year at 1.69%. Additionally, the distress ratio was reported at 1.6% in December — the lowest reading since 1980. This ratio, computed by Merrill Lynch, is a leading indicator for future default rates.

The technical environment also ended on a positive note, with the new issue calendar generally well received despite heavy volumes. The record $30 billion of new issues priced in November was followed by nearly $15 billion in December. For the year, the high yield market absorbed a record $145 billion of new supply. This, however, did not slow the market's momentum as demand from coupon and bond redemptions outpaced supply.

Strategic Review and Outlook: Expecting Slower Corporate Growth for 2007

For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2006, the Fund returned 12.73% on an NAV basis as compared to 11.84% for the Citigroup High-Yield Market Index, and 10.77% for the Merrill Lynch US High Yield Master II Constrained Index. An overweight to the CCC-rated issuers contributed to performance as that category outperformed the broader market by more than 600 basis points. Additionally, an underweight to BB-rated bonds, which lagged the broader market, also aided relative returns. Superior security selection in building materials, consumer products, retailers, cable, packaging, printers, telecommunications and utilities further contributed to performance. Our relative underweight to airlines, however, detracted from performance.

While we remain constructive on the high yield market, the best of the credit cycle does appear to be behind us. Though corporate balance sheets remain strong, we expect growth to be slower in the year ahead. Moody's is forecasting that the default rate will rise toward 2.6% by December 2007. While this is higher than the current rate, it is still well below the historical average. Additionally, while spreads are also below historical averages, we believe the market's fundamental and technical backdrop supports current levels. Consequently, we anticipate that spreads will remain range-bound going forward. Finally, we expect that with yields hovering in the 7.5% area, coupon income generation alone will be able to provide more than respectable total returns.



Credit Suisse Asset Management Income Fund, Inc.

Annual Investment Adviser's Report (continued)

December 31, 2006 (unaudited)

Given our market outlook, we have continued to use periods of market strength as an opportunity to sell some riskier, less liquid securities and have selectively added exposure to BB rated securities. At the sector level, we remain constructive on corporate spending and the commercial cycle broadly. Additionally, we are maintaining an overweight in the cable sector as we expect product bundling will continue to support subscriber and margin growth. On the homebuilding front, while we expect operating results to be volatile in the coming year, the pace of decline has slowed significantly. To the extent that we see additional signs of stabilization, we may look for opportunities to add to exposures in that sector.

High yield bonds are lower-quality bonds that are also known as "junk bonds." Such bonds entail greater risks than those found in higher-rated securities. International investing entails special risk considerations, including currency fluctuations, lower liquidity, economic and political risks, and differences in accounting methods; these risks are generally heightened for emerging-market investments. The Fund may include a greater degree of risk than other funds that invest in larger, more-developed markets.

In addition to historical information, this report contains forward-looking statements, which may concern, among other things, domestic and foreign market, industry and economic trends and developments and government regulation and their potential impact on the Fund's investments. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and actual trends, developments and regulations in the future and their impact on the Fund could be materially different from those projected, anticipated or implied. The Fund has no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements.

We wish to remind shareholders about the Fund's dividend reinvestment program known as the InvestlinkSM Program (the "Program"). The Program is sponsored and administered by Computershare Trust Company N.A. ("Computershare"), not by the Fund. Computershare will act as program administrator (the "Program Administrator") of the Program. The purpose of the Program is to provide existing shareholders with a simple and convenient way to invest additional funds and reinvest dividends in shares of the Fund's common stock. The enrollment form and information relating to the Program (including the terms and conditions) may be obtained by calling the Program Administrator at one of the following telephone numbers: (800) 730-6001 (U.S and Canada) or (781) 575-3100 (outside U.S. and Canada). All correspondence regarding the Program should be directed to: Computershare Trust Company, N.A., InvestLinkSM Program, P.O. Box 43010, Providence, RI 02940-3010.

As of November 2005, she is primarily responsible for the management of the Fund's assets. From 2000 until 2005, she was a Managing Director and Portfolio Manager of Global High Yield bonds, and head of a global high yield business with responsibility for total return, as well as structured portfolios at Invesco. Prior to her tenure at Invesco, Ms. Metcalf served for over 10 years at JPMorgan Investment Management, where she was Vice President and Portfolio Manager for High Yield Corporate bonds.

2  The Citigroup High-Yield Market Index is a broad-based, unmanaged index of high yield securities that is compiled by Citigroup Global Markets Inc. It does not reflect the impact of taxes. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

3  The Merrill Lynch US High Yield Master II Constrained Index is an unmanaged index that tracks the performance of below- investment-grade, U.S. dollar-denominated corporate bonds issued in the U.S. domestic market. It is a rules-based index that is compiled and distributed by Merrill Lynch & Co. Qualifying bonds must have at least one year remaining until maturity, a fixed coupon schedule and a minimum amount outstanding of US$100 million. Any individual issuer is capped at 2%. In order to ensure that the index the Fund is benchmarked against is best aligned with the Fund's emphasis on diversification and risk management, effective February 28, 2006, this index replaced the Citigroup High Yield Market Index. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.




Credit Suisse Asset Management Income Fund, Inc.
Credit Default Swaps (continued)

Effective March 1, 2007, Credit Suisse Asset Management Income Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") may enter into credit default swap agreements either as a buyer or a seller. The Fund may buy a credit default swap to attempt to mitigate the risk of default or credit quality deterioration in one or more individual holdings or in a segment of the fixed income securities market. The Fund may sell a credit default swap in an attempt to gain exposure to an underlying issuer's credit quality characteristics without investing directly in that issuer. There is no limit on the Fund's ability to enter into credit default swap agreements.

The "buyer" in a credit default swap is obligated to pay the "seller" an upfront payment or a periodic stream of payments over the term of the agreement, provided that no credit event on an underlying reference obligation has occurred. If a credit event occurs, the seller must pay the buyer the full notional value, or "par value," of the reference obligation in exchange for the reference obligation. As a result of counterparty risk, credit default swap agreements involve greater risks than if the Fund had invested in the reference obligation directly.

If the Fund is a buyer and no credit event occurs, the cost to the Fund is the premium paid with respect to the agreement. If a credit event occurs, however, the Fund may elect to receive the full notional value of the swap in exchange for an equal face amount of deliverable obligations of the reference entity that may have little or no value. On the other hand, the value of any deliverable obligations paid by the Fund to the seller, coupled with the up front or periodic payments previously received by the seller, may be less than the full notional value the seller pays to the Fund, resulting in a loss of value to the Fund.

If the Fund is a seller and no credit event occurs, the Fund would generally receive an up front payment or a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap, which typically is between six months and three years. If a credit event occurs, however, generally the Fund would have to pay the buyer the full notional value of the swap in exchange for an equal face amount of deliverable obligations of the reference entity that may have little or no value. When the Fund acts as a seller of a credit default swap agreement it is exposed to speculative exposure risk since, if a credit event occurs, the Fund may be required to pay the buyer the full notional value of the contract net of any amounts owed by the buyer related to its delivery of deliverable obligations of the reference entity. As a result, the Fund bears the entire risk of loss due to a decline in value of a referenced security on a credit default swap it has sold if there is a credit event with respect to the security. The Fund bears the same risk as a buyer of fixed income securities directly. The Fund will sell a credit derivative only with respect to securities in which it would be authorized to invest.

The Fund bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a credit default swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of the counterparty. The Fund will enter into swap agreements only with counterparties that meet certain standards of creditworthiness (generally, such counterparties would have to be eligible counterparties under the terms of the Fund's repurchase agreement guidelines). Credit default swap agreements are generally valued at a price at which the counterparty to such agreement would terminate the agreement. As the seller of a credit default swap the Fund would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. Accordingly, the Fund will segregate liquid investments in an amount equal to the aggregate market value of the credit default swaps of which it is the seller, marked to market on a daily basis. Segregated assets cannot be sold or transferred unless equivalent assets are substituted in their place or it is no longer necessary to segregate them. As a result, there is the possibility that segregation of a large percentage of the Fund's assets could impede portfolio management or the Fund's ability to meet current obligations.

When the Fund buys or sells a credit derivative, the underlying issuer(s) or obligor(s) as well as the counterparty to the transaction will be treated as an issuer for purposes of complying with the Fund's issuer diversification and industry concentration policies, absent regulatory guidance to the contrary. The Fund may, but is not required to,

use credit swaps or any other credit derivative. There is no assurance that credit derivatives will be available at any time or, if used, that the derivatives will be used successfully.

Tax Considerations. Periodic net payments will constitute ordinary income or deductions, while termination of a swap will result in capital gain or loss (which will be long-term capital gain or loss if the Fund has been a party to the swap for more than one year). The tax treatment of many types of credit default swaps is uncertain.

†  Calculated using the average share method.

1  Total investment return based on per share net asset value reflects the effects of change in net asset value on the performance
of the Fund during each year, and assumes dividends and capital gains distributions, if any, were reinvested. These percentages
are not an indication of the performance of a shareholder's investment in the Fund based on market value, due to differences
between the market price of the stock and the net asset value of the Fund.

2  This amount represents less then $(0.01) per share.

3  As required, effective January 1, 2001 the Fund has adopted provisions of AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment
Companies and has begun amortizing premium on debt securities. The effect of this change for the year ended December 31, 2001
was a decrease to net investment income per share by $0.004 and an increase to net realized and unrealized gains and losses
per share by $0.004 and a decrease to the net ratio of net investment income to average net assets from 11.73% to 11.66%.
Per share ratios and supplemental data for prior periods have not been restated to reflect this change.

4  Due to the realignment of the Fund's portfolio in connection with the combination with Credit Suisse Strategic Global Income
Fund, Inc., the cost of purchases of $30,040,944 and proceeds from sales of $37,801,151 have been excluded from the Portfolio
Turnover calculation.

Note: Current Year permanent book-tax differences, if any, are not included in the calculation of net investment income per share.

Credit Suisse Asset Management Income Fund, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2006

Note 1. Organization

Credit Suisse Asset Management Income Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") was incorporated on February 11, 1987 and is registered as a diversified, closed-end investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund's investment objective is to seek current income through investment primarily in debt securities.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

A) SECURITY VALUATION — The net asset value of the Fund is determined daily as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (the "Exchange") on each day the Exchange is open for business. Debt securities with a remaining maturity greater than 60 days are valued in accordance with the price supplied by a pricing service, which may use a matrix, formula or other objective method that takes into consideration market indices, yield curves and other specific adjustments. Debt obligations that will mature in 60 days or less are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value, unless it is determined that using this method would not represent fair value. Equity investments are valued at market value, which is generally determined using the closing price on the exchange or market on which the security is primarily traded at the time of valuation ("Valuation Time"). If no sales are reported, equity investments are generally valued at the most recent bid quotation as of the Valuation Time or at the lowest asked quotation in the case of a short sale of securities. Securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been materially affected by events occurring before the Fund's Valuation Time but after the close of the securities' primary markets, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by, or under the direction of, the Board of Directors under procedures established by the Board of Directors.

The Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in securities which are not readily marketable, including those which are restricted as to disposition under securities law ("restricted securities") (excludes 144A securities that have been determined to be liquid under procedures established by the Board of Directors). These securities are valued pursuant to the valuation procedures noted above.

B) SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME — Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest income is accrued as earned. The Fund amortizes premium and accretes discount using the effective yield method. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification method for both financial reporting and income tax purposes. Discount or premium on mortgage backed securities is recorded upon receipt of principal payments on the underlying mortgage pools.

C) DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS — Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid monthly. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually. However, to the extent that a net realized capital gain can be reduced by a capital loss carryover, such gain will not be distributed. Income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP").

D) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES — No provision is made for federal taxes as it is the Fund's intention to continue to qualify for and elect the tax treatment applicable to regulated investment companies under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to make the requisite distributions to its shareholders, which will be sufficient to relieve it from federal income and excise taxes.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2006

E) USE OF ESTIMATES — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

F) SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS — The Fund sweeps available cash into a short-term time deposit available through Brown Brothers Harriman & Co., the Fund's custodian. The short-term time deposit is a variable rate account classified as a short-term investment.

G) DELAYED DELIVERY COMMITMENTS — The Fund may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis. Payment and delivery may take place a month or more after the date of the transaction. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated.

H) FUTURES CONTRACTS — The Fund may enter into futures contracts to the extent permitted by its investment policies and objectives. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit cash or pledge U.S. Government securities as initial margin. Subsequent payments, which are dependent on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying instrument, are made or received by the Fund each day (daily variation margin) and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transactions and the Fund's basis in the contracts. Risks of entering into futures contracts for hedging purposes include the possibility that a change in the value of the contracts may not correlate with the changes in the value of the underlying instruments. In addition, the purchase of futures contracts involves the risk that the Fund could lose more than the original margin deposit and subsequent payments required for a futures transaction. At December 31, 2006, the Fund had no open futures contracts.

I) FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS — The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency. The Fund will enter into forward foreign currency contracts primarily for hedging purposes. Forward foreign currency contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until the contract settlement date, or an offsetting position is entered into. At December 31, 2006, the Fund had the following forward foreign currency contracts.

British Pound     3/28/2007     £ (372,000 )   $ 730,173     $ 728,365     $ 1,808    

 

J) SECURITIES LENDING — Loans of securities are required at all times to be secured by collateral at least equal to 102% of the market value of domestic securities on loan (including any accrued interest thereon) and 105% of the market value of foreign securities on loan (including any accrued interest thereon). Cash collateral received by the Fund in connection with securities lending activity may be invested in a variety of investments, including certain Credit Suisse advised funds, funds advised by BBH&Co., the Fund's securities lending agent, or money market instruments. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.


21



Credit Suisse Asset Management Income Fund, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2006

BBH&Co. has been engaged by the Fund to act as the Fund's securities lending agent. The Fund's securities lending arrangement provides that the Fund and BBH&Co. will share net income earned from the securities lending activities. For the year ended December 31, 2006, total earnings from the Fund's investment in cash collateral received in connection with securities lending arrangements was $711,517, of which $554,897 was rebated to borrowers (brokers). The Fund retained $125,296 in income from the cash collateral investment and BBH&Co., as lending agent, was paid $31,324. The Fund may also be entitled to certain minimum amounts of income from its securities lending activities. Securities lending income is accrued as earned.

K) OTHER — The Fund may invest in securities of foreign countries and governments which involve certain risks in addition to those inherent in domestic investments. Such risks generally include, among others, currency risks (fluctuations in currency exchange rates), information risk (key information may be inaccurate or unavailable) and political risk (expropriation, nationalization or the imposition of capital or currency controls or punitive taxes). Other risks of investing in foreign securities include liquidity and valuation risks.

The Fund may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which it invests with respect to its investments in issuers existing or operating in such countries. Such taxes are generally based on income earned or repatriated and capital gains realized on the sale of such investments. The Fund accrues such taxes when the related income is earned or gains are realized.

The Fund's investments in securities of issuers located in less developed countries considered to be "emerging markets" involve risks in addition to those generally applicable to foreign securities. Focusing on emerging (less developed) markets involves higher levels of risk, including increased currency, information, liquidity, market, political and valuation risks. Deficiencies in regulatory oversight, market infrastructure, shareholder protections and company laws could expose the Fund to operational and other risks as well. Some countries may have restrictions that could limit the Fund's access to attractive investment opportunities. Additionally, emerging markets often face serious economic problems (such as high external debt, inflation and unemployment) that could subject the portfolio to increased volatility or substantial declines in value.

Lower-rated debt securities (commonly known as "junk bonds") possess speculative characteristics and are subject to greater market fluctuations and risk of lost income and principal than higher-rated debt securities for a variety of reasons. Also, during an economic downturn or substantial period of rising interest rates, highly leveraged issuers may experience financial stress which would adversely effect their ability to service their principal and interest payment obligations, to meet projected business goals and to obtain additional financing.

In addition, periods of economic uncertainty and changes can be expected to result in increased volatility of market prices of lower-rated debt securities and (to the extent the Fund invests in junk bonds) the Fund's net asset value.

Note 3. Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties

Credit Suisse serves as investment adviser for the Fund. For its investment advisory services, Credit Suisse is entitled to receive a fee from the Fund at a rate per annum, computed weekly and paid quarterly, as follows: 0.50% of the lower of the weekly stock price (market value) of the Fund's outstanding shares or its average weekly net assets. For the year ended December 31, 2006, investment advisory fees earned were $1,008,035.

Credit Suisse Asset Management Limited ("Credit Suisse U.K."), an affiliate of Credit Suisse, is sub-investment adviser to the Fund. Credit Suisse U.K.'s sub-investment advisory fees are paid by Credit Suisse out of Credit Suisse's net investment advisory fee and are not paid by the Fund.


22



Credit Suisse Asset Management Income Fund, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2006

BBH&Co. provides administrative and custodial services to the Fund. Under the Administration and Custody Agreements, BBH&Co. is paid a fee based on average net assets. For the year ended December 31, 2006, BBH&Co. earned administrative service fees (including out-of-pocket expenses) of $100,804.

The Independent Directors receive fifty percent (50%) of their annual retainer in the form of shares purchased by the Fund's transfer agent in the open market.

Merrill Corporation ("Merrill"), an affiliate of Credit Suisse, has been engaged by the Fund to provide certain financial printing services. For the year ended December 31, 2006, Merrill was paid $42,864 for its services to the Fund.

Note 4. Line of Credit

The Fund, together with other funds/portfolios advised by Credit Suisse (collectively, the "Participating Funds"), participates in a $75 million committed, unsecured line of credit facility ("Credit Facility") for temporary or emergency purposes with Deutsche Bank, A.G. as administrative agent and syndication agent and State Street Bank and Trust Company as operations agent. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Participating Funds pay an aggregate commitment fee at a rate of 0.10% per annum on the average unused amount of the Credit Facility, which is allocated among the Participating Funds in such manner as is determined by the governing Boards of the Participating Funds. In addition, the Participating Funds pay interest on borrowings at the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. At December 31, 2006 and for the year ended December 31, 2006, the Fund had no borrowings under the Credit Facility.

Note 5. Purchases and Sales of Securities

For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Fund had no investments in U.S. Government and Agency Obligations. Purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term investments) were $124,159,094 and $120,605,807, respectively.

Note 6. Federal Income Taxes

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

The tax characteristics of dividends paid during the year ended December 31, 2006 and the year ended December 31, 2005, respectively, for the Fund were as follows:

Ordinary Income   Return of Capital  
2006   2005   2006   2005  
$ 18,508,945     $ 19,491,595           $ 217,186    

 

The tax basis of components of distributable earnings differ from the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities by temporary book/tax differences. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of foreign currency transactions, interest accrual from defaulted bonds, and deferral of Post-October losses.


23



Credit Suisse Asset Management Income Fund, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2006

At December 31, 2006, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis for the Fund were as follows:

Dividend payable not qualified for 852(b)7 treatment   $ (1,449,290 )  
Accumulated Ordinary Losses — Other     (1,314,430 )  
Accumulated Capital Losses     (167,537,728 )  
Deferral of Post-October Losses     (54,702 )  
Unrealized appreciation (depreciation)     (195 )  
    $ (170,356,345 )  

 

At December 31, 2006, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards available to offset possible future capital gains as follows:

Expires December 31,  
2007   2008   2009   2010   2011   2012   2013   2014  
$ 9,512,339     $ 2,335,946     $ 50,358,903     $ 72,148,258     $ 18,379,472     $ 1,091,025     $ 3,101,847     $ 10,609,938    

 

During the tax year ended December 31, 2006, the Fund had $3,565,110 of capital loss carryforward expire.

It is uncertain that the Fund will realize the full benefit of these losses prior to expiration.

At December 31, 2006, the identified cost for federal income tax purposes, as well as the gross unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost, gross unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value and the net unrealized depreciation from investments were $235,256,172, $8,134,015, $(8,134,210) and $(195), respectively.

At December 31, 2006, the Fund reclassified $2,094,821 from accumulated undistributed net investment income and $1,606,774 from accumulated net realized gain to paid in capital, to adjust for permanent book/tax treatments of foreign currency transactions, interest accrual from defaulted bonds sold and expiration of capital loss carryforwards. Net assets were not affected by these reclassifications.

Note 7. Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Fund may provide general indemnifications pursuant to certain contracts and organizational documents. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote.

Note 8. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

During June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation 48 ("FIN 48" or the "Interpretation"), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB statement 109. FIN 48 supplements FASB Statement 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, by defining the confidence level that a tax position must meet in order to be recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model for how a fund should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the fund has taken or expects to take on a tax return. FIN 48 requires that the tax effects of a position be recognized only if it is "more likely than not" to be sustained based solely on its technical merits. Management must be able to conclude that the tax law, regulations, case law, and other objective information regarding the technical merits sufficiently support the position's sustainability with a likelihood of more than 50 percent. FIN 48 is effective for


24



Credit Suisse Asset Management Income Fund, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2006

fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2006. At adoption, the financial statements must be adjusted to reflect only those tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained as of the adoption date.

On September 20, 2006, the FASB released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 "Fair Value Measurements" ("FAS 157"). FAS 157 establishes an authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair-value measurements. The application of FAS 157 is required for fiscal years, beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years.

At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FIN 48 and FAS 157 and their impact on the financial statements has not yet been determined.

Credit Suisse Asset Management Income Fund, Inc.

Board Consideration and Re-Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements (unaudited)

Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") contemplates that the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Credit Suisse Asset Management Income Fund, Inc. (the "Fund"), including a majority of the Directors who have no direct or indirect interest in the investment advisory agreements and are not "interested persons" of the Fund, as defined in the 1940 Act (the "Independent Directors"), are required to annually review and re-approve the terms of the Fund's existing investment advisory agreements and approve any newly proposed terms therein. In this regard, the Board reviewed and re-approved, during the most recent six months covered by this report, (i) an investment advisory agreement with Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC ("Credit Suisse") for the Fund, and (ii) a sub-advisory agreement with Credit Suisse Asset Management Limited ("Credit Suisse U.K." or the "Sub-Adviser") for the Fund. The investment advisory agreement with Credit Suisse and the investment sub-advisory agreement with Credit Suisse U.K. are collectively referred to as the "Advisory Agreements".

More specifically, at a meeting held on November 16, 2006, the Board, including the Independent Directors advised by their independent legal counsel, considered the factors and reached the conclusions described below relating to the selection of Credit Suisse and Credit Suisse U.K. and the re-approval of the Advisory Agreements.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

The Board received and considered various data and information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by Credit Suisse and Credit Suisse U.K. under the Advisory Agreements. The most recent investment adviser registration forms ("Forms ADV") for Credit Suisse and Credit Suisse U.K. were provided to the Board, as were responses of Credit Suisse and Credit Suisse U.K. to a detailed series of requests submitted by the Independent Directors' independent legal counsel on behalf of such Directors. The Board reviewed and analyzed these materials, which included, among other things, information about the background and experience of the senior management and the expertise of investment personnel of Credit Suisse and Credit Suisse U.K. In this regard, the Board specifically reviewed the qualifications, background and responsibilities of the individual primarily responsible for day-to-day portfolio management services for the Fund. The Board also considered the organizational realignment of Credit Suisse's asset management business and the potential impact of such changes on the Fund.

In addition, the Board considered the investment and legal compliance programs of the Fund, Credit Suisse and the Sub-Adviser, including their compliance policies and procedures and reports of the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer.

The Board evaluated the ability of Credit Suisse and Credit Suisse U.K., including their respective resources, reputations and other attributes, to attract and retain qualified investment professionals, including research, advisory, and supervisory personnel. In this regard, the Board considered information regarding Credit Suisse and the Sub-Adviser's compensation arrangements for its personnel involved in the management of the Fund including incentive and retirement plans.

Based on the above factors, together with those referenced below, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided to the Fund by Credit Suisse and Credit Suisse U.K.

Fund Performance and Expenses

The Board considered the performance results of the Fund over a number of years, as well as for recent periods. It also considered these results in comparison to the group of funds consisting of all closed-end flexible income funds and closed-end high current yield funds (the "Performance Universe"), as well as to the Fund's benchmark index, the Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Master II Constrained Market Index. Lipper Inc. ("Lipper"), an


27




Credit Suisse Asset Management Income Fund, Inc.

Board Consideration and Re-Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements (unaudited) (continued)

independent provider of investment company data, determined the Performance Universe for the Fund and provided the comparative data. The Board was provided with a description of the methodology used by Lipper to select the closed-end funds in the Fund's Performance Universe. The Board noted that the Fund performed better than the median in its Performance Universe for most periods, including the most recent periods.

The Board received and considered statistical information regarding the Fund's total expense ratio and its various components, including management fees, non-management fees, fee waivers/caps and/or expense reimbursements and actual total expenses of the Fund, including and excluding investment-related expenses and taxes. It also considered comparisons of these fees to the expense information for the group of funds that was determined to be the most similar to the Fund (the "Peer Group") and to the median expenses of a broader universe of relevant funds (the "Expense Universe"), which comparative data was provided by Lipper. The Board was provided with a description of the methodology used by Lipper to select the closed-end funds in the Fund's Peer Group and Expense Universe. The Board noted that the overall expense ratio of the Fund was lower than the median overall expense ratio of its Peer Group and Expense Universe.

Based on the above-referenced considerations and other factors, the Board concluded that the overall performance and expense results supported the re-approval of the Advisory Agreements for the Fund including incentive and retirement plans.

Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fee Rates

The Board reviewed and considered the proposed contractual investment advisory fee rate (the "Advisory Agreement Rate") payable by the Fund to Credit Suisse for investment advisory services. The Board also reviewed and considered the proposed contractual investment sub-advisory fee rate (the "Sub-Advisory Agreement Rate") payable by Credit Suisse to the Sub-Adviser for investment sub-advisory services.

Additionally, the Board received and considered information comparing the Advisory Agreement Rate (both on a stand-alone basis and on a combined basis with the Fund's administration fee rate) with those of the other funds in its Peer Group and Expense Universe. The Board noted that the Fund's administrator is not affiliated with Credit Suisse and that the Fund's administration agreement and corresponding fees were negotiated at arm's length. The Board noted that the combined rate of investment advisory and administration fees for the Fund was lower than the median rate of the Fund's Peer Group and Expense Universe. The Board concluded that these factors supported the Advisory Agreement Rate and approved the Advisory Agreement for the Fund.

The Board also reviewed the Sub-Advisory Agreement Rate charged by Credit Suisse U.K. The Board concluded that the Sub-Advisory Agreement Rate was fair and equitable, based on its consideration of the factors described above.

Profitability

The Board received and considered an estimated profitability analysis of Credit Suisse based on the Advisory Agreement Rate, as well as on other relationships between the Fund and Credit Suisse and its affiliates, including Credit Suisse U.K. The Board concluded that, in light of the costs of providing investment management and other services to the Fund, the profits and other ancillary benefits that Credit Suisse and its affiliates received with regard to providing these services to the Fund were not unreasonable.

The Board received and considered financial statements and an estimated profitability analysis of Credit Suisse U.K. based on the Sub-Advisory Agreement Rate, as well as on other relationships between the Fund and Credit Suisse U.K. and its affiliates. The Board noted the costs of providing portfolio management and other services to the Fund. The Board also noted that the sub-advisory fees are paid to the Sub-Adviser by Credit Suisse and not


28




Credit Suisse Asset Management Income Fund, Inc.

Board Consideration and Re-Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements (unaudited) (continued)

directly by the Fund, and that the Board separately determined that the Advisory Agreement Rate for the Fund was fair and equitable. Based on these factors, the Board concluded that the profits and other ancillary benefits that the Sub-Adviser and its affiliates received with regard to providing these services to the Fund were not unreasonable.

Economies of Scale

The Board received and considered information regarding whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the Fund, whether the Fund has appropriately benefited from any economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.

The Board observed that the Advisory Agreements do not offer breakpoints. However, the Board considered the diminished impact of economies of scale in the context of a closed-end fund and concluded that the fees were fair and equitable based on relevant factors.

Information about Services to Other Clients

The Board received and considered information about the nature and extent of services and fee rates offered by Credit Suisse to other clients, including other registered investment companies, separate accounts and institutional investors and investment companies to which Credit Suisse serves as an unaffiliated sub-adviser. The Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services, and general information about the fees, offered by Credit Suisse U.K. to other clients. The Board concluded that the Advisory Agreement Rate and Sub-Advisory Agreement Rate were reasonable, given the nature and extent of services provided and comparison with rates offered to other clients. In this regard, where rates offered to other clients are appreciably lower, the Board concluded, based on information provided by Credit Suisse, that the costs associated with managing and operating a registered, closed-end high yield bond fund, compared with other clients and other funds, provided a justification for the higher fee rates charged to the Fund.

Other Benefits to Credit Suisse and the Sub-Adviser

The Board received and considered information regarding potential "fall-out" or ancillary benefits received by Credit Suisse and its affiliates, including Credit Suisse U.K., as a result of their relationship with the Fund. Such benefits could include, among others, benefits directly attributable to the relationship of Credit Suisse and the Sub-Adviser with the Fund and benefits potentially derived from an increase in the business of Credit Suisse and the Sub-Adviser as a result of their relationship with the Fund (such as the ability to market to shareholders other financial products offered by Credit Suisse and its affiliates or the Sub-Adviser).

Other Factors and Broader Review

As discussed above, the Board reviews detailed materials received from Credit Suisse and the Sub-Adviser annually as part of the re-approval process under Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act. The Board also reviews and assesses the quality of the services that the Fund receives throughout the year. In this regard, the Board reviews reports of Credit Suisse at least in each of its quarterly meetings, which include, among other things, a detailed portfolio review, and detailed fund performance reports, and confers with the chief investment officer of the Fund at various times throughout the year.

After considering the above-described factors and based on its deliberations and its evaluation of the information provided to it, the Board concluded that re-approval of the Advisory Agreements for the Fund was in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders. Accordingly, the Board unanimously re-approved the Advisory Agreements.

PROXY VOTING POLICY AND PROCEDURES

 

Introduction

 

Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC (“Credit Suisse”) is a fiduciary that owes each of its clients duties of care and loyalty with respect to proxy voting. The duty of care requires Credit Suisse to monitor corporate events and to vote proxies. To satisfy its duty of loyalty, Credit Suisse must cast proxy votes in the best interests of each of its clients.

 

The Credit Suisse Funds, Credit Suisse Institutional Funds, and Credit Suisse Closed-End Funds (the “Funds”), which have engaged Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC as their investment adviser, are of the belief that the proxy voting process is a means of addressing corporate governance issues and encouraging corporate actions both of which can enhance shareholder value.

 

Policy

 

The Proxy Voting Policy (the “Policy”) set forth below is designed to ensure that proxies are voted in the best interests of Credit Suisse’s clients. The Policy addresses particular issues and gives a general indication of how Credit Suisse will vote proxies. The Policy is not exhaustive and does not include all potential issues.

 

Proxy Voting Committee

 

The Proxy Voting Committee will consist of a member of the Portfolio Management Department, a member of the Legal and Compliance Department, and a member of the Operations Department (or their designees). The purpose of the Proxy Voting Committee is to administer the voting of all clients’ proxies in accordance with the Policy. The Proxy Voting Committee will review the Policy annually to ensure that it is designed to promote the best interests of Credit Suisse’s clients.

 

For the reasons disclosed below under “Conflicts,” the Proxy Voting Committee has engaged the services of an independent third party (initially, Institutional Shareholder Services (“ISS”)) to assist in issue analysis and vote recommendation for proxy proposals. Proxy proposals addressed by the Policy will be voted in accordance with the Policy. Proxy proposals addressed by the Policy that

 

5



 

require a case-by-case analysis will be voted in accordance with the vote recommendation of ISS. Proxy proposals not addressed by the Policy will also be voted in accordance with the vote recommendation of ISS. To the extent that the Proxy Voting Committee proposes to deviate from the Policy or the ISS vote recommendation, the Committee shall obtain client consent as described below.

 

Credit Suisse investment professionals may submit a written recommendation to the Proxy Voting Committee to vote in a manner inconsistent with the Policy and/or the recommendation of ISS. Such recommendation will set forth its basis and rationale. In addition, the investment professional must confirm in writing that he/she is not aware of any conflicts of interest concerning the proxy matter or provide a full and complete description of the conflict.

 

Conflicts

 

Credit Suisse is part of the asset management business of Credit Suisse one of the world’s leading banks. As part of a global, full service investment-bank, broker-dealer, and asset-management organization, Credit Suisse and its affiliates and personnel may have multiple advisory, transactional, financial, and other interests in securities, instruments, and companies that may be purchased or sold by Credit Suisse for its clients’ accounts. The interests of Credit Suisse and/or its affiliates and personnel may conflict with the interests of Credit Suisse’s clients in connection with any proxy issue. In addition, Credit Suisse may not be able to identify all of the conflicts of interest relating to any proxy matter.

 

Consent

 

In each and every instance in which the Proxy Voting Committee favors voting in a manner that is inconsistent with the Policy or the vote recommendation of ISS (including proxy proposals addressed and not addressed by the Policy), it shall disclose to the client conflicts of interest information and obtain client consent to vote. Where the client is a Fund, disclosure shall be made to any one director who is not an “interested person,” as that term is defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, of the Fund.

 

Recordkeeping

 

Credit Suisse is required to maintain in an easily accessible place for five years all records relating to proxy voting.

 

These records include the following:

 

                  a copy of the Policy;

 

                  a copy of each proxy statement received on behalf of Credit Suisse clients;

 

6



 

                  a record of each vote cast on behalf of Credit Suisse clients;

 

                  a copy of all documents created by Credit Suisse personnel that were material to making a decision on a vote or that memorializes the basis for the decision; and

 

                  a copy of each written request by a client for information on how Credit Suisse voted proxies, as well as a copy of any written response.

 

Credit Suisse reserves the right to maintain certain required proxy records with ISS in accordance with all applicable regulations.

 

Disclosure

 

Credit Suisse will describe the Policy to each client. Upon request, Credit Suisse will provide any client with a copy of the Policy. Credit Suisse will also disclose to its clients how they can obtain information on their proxy votes.

 

ISS will capture data necessary for Funds to file Form N-PX on an annual basis concerning their proxy voting record in accordance with applicable law.

 

Procedures

 

The Proxy Voting Committee will administer the voting of all client proxies. Credit Suisse has engaged ISS as an independent third party proxy voting service to assist in the voting of client proxies. ISS will coordinate with each client’s custodian to ensure that proxy materials reviewed by the custodians are processed in a timely fashion. ISS will provide Credit Suisse with an analysis of proxy issues and a vote recommendation for proxy proposals. ISS will refer proxies to the Proxy Voting Committee for instructions when the application of the Policy is not clear. The Proxy Voting Committee will notify ISS of any changes to the Policy or deviating thereof.

Generally vote on a case-by-case basis on auditor rotation proposals taking into consideration: (1) tenure of audit firm; (2) establishment and disclosure of a renewal process whereby the auditor is regularly evaluated for both audit quality and competitive price; (3) length of the rotation period advocated in the proposal, and (4) significant audit related issues.

Generally vote for only those proposals providing such expanded coverage in cases when a director’s or officer’s legal defense was unsuccessful if: (1) the director was found to have acted in good faith and in a manner that he reasonably believed was in the best interests of the company, and (2) only if the director’s legal expenses would be covered.

 

Filling Vacancies/Removal of Directors

Term Limits

 

Generally vote against shareholder proposals to limit the tenure of outside directors.

 

Proxy Contests

 

Voting on Director Nominees in Contested Elections

 

Votes in a contested election of directors should be decided on a case-by-case basis, with shareholders determining which directors are best suited to add value for shareholders. The major decision factors are: (1) company performance relative to its peers; (2) strategy of the incumbents versus the dissidents; (3) independence of directors/nominees; (4) experience and skills of board candidates; (5) governance profile of the company; (6) evidence of management entrenchment; (7) responsiveness to shareholders; or (8) whether takeover offer has been rebuffed.

 

Amend Bylaws without Shareholder Consent

 

Proposals giving the board exclusive authority to amend the bylaws will be determined on a case-by-case basis. Proposals giving the board the ability to amend the bylaws in addition to shareholders will be determined on a case-by-case basis.

Potential Conflicts of Interest

 

It is possible that conflicts of interest may arise in connection with the portfolio managers’ management of the Portfolio’s investments on the one hand and the investments of other accounts on the other. For example, the portfolio managers may have conflicts of interest in allocating management time, resources and investment opportunities among the Portfolio and other accounts they advise. In addition due to differences in the investment strategies or restrictions between the Portfolio and the other accounts, the portfolio managers may take action with respect to another account that differs from the action taken with respect to the Portfolio. Credit Suisse has adopted policies and procedures that are designed to minimize the effects of these conflicts.

 

If Credit Suisse believes that the purchase or sale of a security is in the best interest of more than one client, it may (but is not obligated to) aggregate the orders to be sold or purchased to seek favorable execution or lower brokerage commissions, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations. Credit Suisse may aggregate orders if all participating client accounts benefit equally (i.e., all receive an average price of the aggregated orders). In the event Credit Suisse aggregates an order for participating accounts, the method of allocation will generally be determined prior to the trade execution. Although no specific method of allocation of transactions (as well as expenses incurred in the transactions) is expected to be used, allocations will be designed to ensure that over time all clients receive fair treatment consistent with Credit Suisse’s fiduciary duty to its clients (including its duty to seek to obtain best execution of client trades). The accounts aggregated may

 

19



 

include registered and unregistered investment companies managed by Credit Suisse’s affiliates and accounts in which Credit Suisse’s officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates own interests. Applicant may not be able to aggregate securities transactions for clients who direct the use of a particular broker-dealer, and the client also may not benefit from any improved execution or lower commissions that may be available for such transactions.

 

Compensation

 

Ms. Metcalf is compensated for her services by Credit Suisse. Her compensation consists of a fixed base salary and a discretionary bonus that is not tied by formula to the performance of any fund or account. The factors taken into account in determining her bonus include the Fund’s performance, assets held in the Fund and other accounts managed by her, business growth, team work, management, corporate citizenship, etc.

 

A portion of the bonus may be paid in phantom shares of Credit Suisse Group stock as deferred compensation. Phantom shares are shares representing an unsecured right to receive on a particular date a specified number of registered shares subject to certain terms and conditions. A portion of the bonus will receive the notional return of the fund(s) the portfolio manager manages and a portion of the bonus will receive the notional return of a basket of other Credit Suisse funds along the product line of the portfolio manager.

 

Like all employees of Credit Suisse, portfolio managers participate in Credit Suisse’s profit sharing and 401(k) plans.

 

Securities Ownership. As of December 31, 2006, Ms. Metcalf did not own any shares of the registrant.
